Exploring the Horizon: Constructing Marx's Contribution on Praxis as Transcendence

摘要

The present crisis of development and environment has increasingly been regarded as the problem of praxis. The policy delinked from praxis proves to be absurd in providing any material solution. It has been realized that praxis has its own logic as well as consequences, which should not be underestimated in structural planning laid down in advance. In this context, conceptualization of praxis seems inevitable. Modern discourses assume its transitive character by narrowing down its significance. Marx's concept of praxis reveals newer scope to be engaged with it. This article attempts to construct that concept in Marx while invoking the dialectic between generic essence and specific forms of human activity. This newer understanding of praxis as transcendence discards all forms of reductionist interpretations prevailing in the academic world as it also refutes the dualism of immanence and intentionality characterized by the concept of transitivity.View full textDownload full textKeywordsDialectics, Generic-essence, Praxis, Specific-forms, TranscendenceRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/03017601003668738
